    Hi There, I purchased a really nice low mileage BMW Z4 a few months back and the only modification the previous owner had done on the car was to replace the back box witha straight through which sounds great, but it's not for me. It sounds amazing but I live on a quiet residential street and...

    Hello First of all hello to everyone and i'm new in this forum. Turbo on my 318d 2003 gave up and i need it replaced.

    Hello, My car doesn't move immediately when I change the gear from P to D. When I put it to D, car stays stationary for about 3 or 4 seconds, then starts to move very very slowly, and gradually it reaches to normal speed. If I press the accelerator, same things happen in less time. It is a...

Rightly or wrongly, when I removed the tape player that sits above the mid unit, I took off the face plate which was connected to the unit by a ribbon. However, when taking this off...
